Quick Introduction To Growing Onions

Plant onion seed for main crop or summer onions in March and winter or Japanese onions seed in August. Main crop onions seed can be sown during February if indoors - greenhouse (heated propagator) or sunny windowsill. But most people find it easier and more conveneient to plant onion sets - buy the heat treated varieties so they don't run to seed.

Plant main crop onion sets in March/April and over-wintering onion sets in September/October, spacing them 10cm(4") apart in the row and the rows 20cm(8") apart.

Routine care consists of keeping the plants watered in dry weather so growth is not checked (paused) and regular weeding as they don't do well being smothered in weeds.
